Cont: The One Covid-19 Science and Medicine Thread Part 5

No, not that one. Why would you think that it was that one?
The study you link to is about myocarditis. Blue Mountain's post 918 linked to post 916 by Mike about breast cancer.
How can you confuse the two papers? Don't you know what myocarditis and breast cancer are?!
Blue Mountain's post was one of three questioning the relevance and validity of the paper Mike had posted. This was mine, post 919.
Notice that this name appears in both papers, Nicholas Hulscher.

Long-term cardiovascular events in individuals hospitalised with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort
🔥A large cohort study from Portugal, and AGAIN THE WARNING!
➡️“Our findings indicate an increased incidence of cardiovascular events in individuals hospitalised with COVID-19.”( >30 days post-C19)
➡️“Individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions are particularly at risk.”
➡️“We did not find a significant difference between the severity of the COVID-19 episode and the risk of having cardiovascular events post-COVID-19,” for these hospitalised patients!
➡️“We also found that vaccination against COVID-19 before infection lowers the risk of cardiovascular complications.”
➡️“This highlights the importance of proactive cardiovascular monitoring and strong vaccination campaigns, especially for those at increased risk.”
➡️😷“It's vital for both healthcare providers and individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 to remain vigilant about cardiovascular health over the long term.”

Summarised: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients showed a 35/1,000 person-years incidence of cardiovascular events post-infection. Pre-existing CV risks amplified this, while pre-infection vaccination lowered it. Amid the unavoidable study heterogeneity, findings thus highlight PERSISTENT ELEVATED RISKS, urging for post-19 monitoring.
The clear message again: Proactive screening and monitoring of post-COVID hospitalized patients is a must…….and of course, get vaccine updated and avoid reinfections!

ANSWERED: Does COVID-19 Impact the Immune System? (Pandemic Accountability Index, Oct 29, 2025)
A Compilation of Medical Research (45+ Studies)
Instead of considering that a new SARS virus might have negative impacts on children’s health, the media propped up the anti-vaccine myth of “immunity debt,” claiming that non-pharmaceutical interventions from 2020 damaged children’s immune systems. Desperate to run cover for the Biden Administration’s pandemic mismanagement, seemingly legitimate voices in the media from David Leonhardt to Benjamin Mazer to Ryan Cooper to Zeynep Tufekci all peddled this blatantly false, unscientific myth. They also boldly denied that there was any possibility that COVID-19, a new disease, could have negative impacts on the immune system. Now? Constant pediatric illness has been tragically normalized amongst parents.
Well, it’s now 2025, and we have a mountain of peer-reviewed medical research that argues otherwise. This resource will be updated regularly.

COVID-19 (and all other) vaccines:
How two top FDA officials are quietly upending vaccine regulations (StatNews, Nov 12, 2025)
As Tracy Beth Høeg and Vinay Prasad seek to restore public trust, some fear they will undermine public health instead
Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he does not want to take vaccines away from Americans. But at a closed-door meeting of Food and Drug Administration vaccine scientists in September, a top official suggested doing just that.
Scientists listened as Tracy Beth Høeg, a lieutenant to FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, laid out her plan: She wanted to change the label of all Covid-19 vaccines to say the risks outweighed the benefits for men ages 12 to 24 — a move that would make it prohibitively difficult for men in this age group to receive the vaccine.
Her concerns about myocarditis, or inflamed heart muscle, had been censored before, she said, and now she wanted to take action. Høeg wanted to advance her proposal to a meeting later that month of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory committee.

I have mentioned Tracy Beth Høeg a couple of times before. She and Christine Stabell Benn used to work for DeSantis and Ladapo's antivaxxer campaign alongside several others who are now working for MAHA - directly or indirectly:
DeSantis Wants Grand Jury to Investigate COVID Vaccines (Governing, Dec 14, 2022)
DeSantis on Tuesday also announced the creation of a panel of researchers, called the Public Health Integrity Committee, which will “offer critical assessments” of recommendations and findings from the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and National Institutes of Health.
The group includes Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of health policy at Stanford University Medical School; Martin Kuldorff, a biostatistician on leave from Harvard Medical School; Dr. Joseph Fraiman, emergency medicine physician at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center; Dr. Christine Stabell Benn, a professor in global health at the University of Southern Denmark; Steven Templeton, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the Indiana University School of Medicine; Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, a clinical and health policy researcher at Acumen, in California; and Bret Weinstein, former professor of evolutionary biology at Evergreen State College.

C19 and cancer risk:
SARS-CoV-2 infection heightens the risk of developing HPV-related carcinoma in situ and cancer (PubMed Central, Aug 14, 2025)
Over a 3-year follow-up period, individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection had significantly higher risks of developing HPV-related cancers compared to those without infection: a 67% increase in cervical cancer, 131% in vaginal cancer, 98% in vulvar cancer, 92% in anal cancer, and 78% in oropharyngeal cancer. Similar trends were observed for carcinoma in situ, with increased risks of 34% for cervical, 61% for vaginal, 74% for vulvar, 96% for anal, and 78% for oropharyngeal carcinoma in situ. Subgroup analyses stratified by age and race demonstrated consistent results.
Conclusion
SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with elevated risks of HPV-related carcinoma in situ and cancer, irrespective of age or race.

COVID-19 vaccination linked to reduced infections in children with eczema (MedicalXpress, Nov 6, 2025)

COVID-19 Vaccination Linked to Reduced Infections in Children with Eczema (ACAAI.org, Nov 6, 2025)
Risks of other allergic conditions also lower in vaccinated children
Children with atopic dermatitis (AD), commonly known as eczema, may experience fewer infections and allergic complications if they receive the COVID-19 vaccine, according to new research being presented at the 2025 American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando.
(...)
“Our study suggests that COVID-19 vaccination not only protects against coronavirus but may also have broader health benefits for children with atopic dermatitis,” said Zhibo Yang, MD, PhD, the principal investigator (PI) of the study. “We found lower rates of both allergic conditions and infections among vaccinated children compared to their unvaccinated peers.”

C19 and shingles:
Relationship between shingles and coronavirus disease 2019: a self-controlled case series study (International Journal of Epidemiology, Sep 26, 2025)
Results
Among 399 381 patients with COVID-19, 558 were diagnosed with shingles. The IRR was significantly elevated during the first and second (5.1, 95% CI 3.9–6.6), third and fourth (1.7, 95% CI 1.2–2.5), and fifth and sixth weeks (1.5, 95% CI 1.0–2.3) compared with a control period.
Conclusion
This study of a Japanese inpatient and outpatient database reveals a relationship between shingles and COVID-19, indicating that shingles may be a characteristic of the virus and highlighting the need for varicella-zoster vaccination alongside SARS-CoV-2 in the COVID-19 era.

According to the CDC, all cause excess deaths have continued to be about 10% greater than expected or 6k a week. This may well be an after effect of C19 since nearly everyone got it. I'm interested in specific breakdowns of the specific death cause increases such as heart or circulatory causes. Any studies?

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19...be-57-effective-against-emergency-urgent-care (CIDRAP, Jan 27, 2026)
They noted that COVID-19 vaccination uptake continues to decline despite recommendations from public health agencies and infectious disease experts. By early December 2025, only 15.0% of all adults and 32.5% of those aged 65 years and older had been vaccinated. In comparison, 2024–25 vaccine coverage was 21% among all adults and 45% among those 65 and older.
This year’s lower uptake may be related to delays in COVID-19 vaccine recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as a shift from a universal recommendation for all people 6 months or older to a recommendation for individual-based clinical decision-making, the researchers said.
“In clinical discussions, it is important that patients and others involved in their care decisions understand that COVID-19 vaccines provide protection not only against severe disease but also against milder COVID-19 outcomes,” they wrote.

The mRNA study is extremely strong evidence aginst those who claim that mRNA vaccines have caused significant number of deaths.
Question Are COVID-19 mRNA vaccines associated with the long-term risk of all-cause mortality?

Findings In this cohort study including 22.7 million vaccinated individuals and 5.9 million unvaccinated individuals, vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and no increased risk of all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 45 months.

Meaning These national-level results found no increased risk of 4-year all-cause mortality in individuals aged 18 to 59 years vaccinated against COVID-19, further supporting the safety of the mRNA vaccines that are being widely used worldwide.

Yes, indeed! Eric Feigl-Ding wrote about it on X today:
Eric Feigl-Ding on X, Jan 29, 2026
25% LOWER ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY! Wowzers—one of the largest long-term safety studies ever undertaken—offers the clearest answer yet: “Among 28 million French adults aged 18–59, those who received an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to die in the subsequent four years than those who remained unvaccinated, corresponding to a 25% lower risk of death from all causes.”—and works even better among young adults—35% lower risk for ages 18-29!

2) Vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 (weighted hazard ratio [wHR], 0.26 [95% CI, 0.22-0.30]) and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality (wHR, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.75-0.76]), with a similar association observed when excluding severe COVID-19 death. Sensitivity analysis revealed that vaccinated individuals consistently had a lower risk of death, regardless of the cause. Mortality was 29% lower within 6 months following COVID-19 vaccination (relative incidence, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.69-0.73]).

3) also importantly, “The study found no increase in the risk of deaths from cancer, heart disease, accidental injury or any other major category: in every case, vaccinated individuals had equal or lower rates of death.”

4) for those asking about near term mortality — “Mortality was 29% lower within 6 months following COVID-19 vaccination (relative incidence, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.69-0.73]).” This is 29% LOWER TOTAL MORTALITY FROM ALL CAUSES!!! not just COVID.

Antivaxxers have some explaining to do.
In this four-year mRNA safety study from France, which includes:
• 23 million vaccinated people
• 6 million unvaccinated people
• Ages 18–59

Vaccinated individuals had a significantly lower all-cause mortality rate, as well as lower COVID-19 death and disease rates, compared to unvaccinated individuals.

This included lower rates of:
• Cancer
• Pregnancy complications
• Birth defects
• Heart problems
• Mental disorders

So it appears that the antivaxxers were wrong yet again.
Further evidence that mRNA vaccines are safe and effective.
Let’s see whether they will acknowledge this data — or continue to deny it and lie.

During the period in time between early December 2021 and March 2022,
(when every American had access to vaccines and boosters)
unvaxed Americans died at 10-20X the rate of vaxed and boosted Americans of the same age and co-morbidities.

Based on CDC data from the Omicron wave (Dec 2021-Mar 2022), age-adjusted COVID-19 death rates for unvaccinated adults were 10-53 times higher than for those fully vaccinated and boosted. Vaccine effectiveness against death was estimated at 79-98%. Comorbidity adjustments vary, but trends hold across studies.

Too bad that most people aged 18 to 59 and beyond in most countries no longer have access to Covid vaccines.
